The son of a dairy farmer from McKees Hill, Jim Richardson
started his education at a one-teacher school at Clovass. Since those early
years, he has been fortunate enough to take advantage of the educational opportunities
that came his way. They eventually led him out of rural New South Wales, to the
city, and the wide world.
Fast forward to the 1970s, and Jim was a scholarship student
at university in Armidale. Originally aiming to become a marine biologist, Jim
realised he wanted to be involved with education, so decided to become a
science teacher instead.
